13 loves {March 2013}

Thanks for stopping by again this month. Already coming up to the end of March and a full month of loveliness online, at home and around and about.

Yes, I'm here again to join Pam with her {13 loves} series. She's one inspirational soul and I happen to know that she's worried this month to keep it to 13 so be sure to go over and be wowed by what she wants to share with you.

So with no more delay let me share this month's eye-catchers and I think you'll agree that it's a list that shows I've been spending way too much time on Pinterest.

Dreaming of a holiday. This is Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada. I've been there in winter and walked across this lake when it was covered in ice and snow. It's an awesome place and on my revisit list. I relive those holiday when I find photos like this online and that makes me happy.

I know nothing at all about this author but I heard her interviewed and as soon as they mentioned that she had written books about the north (and south) pole, I was hooked. I intend to get this (these) books and start reading. My kind of literature.

I would love to have a go at bringing some more colour into my home. This jumped out at me with the soft neutrals and the gorgeous coral and aqua. I'm not sure I could pull it off but I love it. I will keep pondering.

I'm a huge fan of the brains behind the Jingle Belles blog, Lauren and Stephanie. They are so inspirational and help us to stop the stress of homemade Christmas cards by inspiring us every week to create our pile of cards all the way through the year. My pile is already 20 strong. I love going there every week and they work really hard to make it fun all year long.

The colour of this coming summer season, mint green, is inspiring me at the moment. I have already bought myself some clothes in this unusual - for me - colour and when I saw this nail varnish, it was a no-brainer. Purchased but yet to be used. I just have to stop nibbling in order to give my nails the summer look they deserve.

Ever hopeful that I will get up off my proverbial in the evening to cook myself something a bit more delicious than the standard microwave ready meal, I pin scrumptious looking food over and over. This looks good, sounds delicious, is tempting. You never know...

More colour gazing. Love this combination too. I really have a fancy for mixing some aqua in with the whites we have round here. This yellow and grey addition really appeals.

These shoes literally shouted out my name as I walked past them on my way to the cash-till having chosen some boring, sensible, black work shoes. How could I ignore them. Into my shopping bag they went. They are so high I can't imagine they will be comfortable but I just had to bring them home with me. They make me happy.
